In this Bachelor's thesis, ground anchors are described in general, where it is used and why, it's constructive elements, anchor system design, application process and the documentation of the projects progress. Methods, procedure and the result of ground anchor tests are the main thesis, so that part of the project is more detailed in general. Theoretical part is written out of a translated Eurocode 7 (geotechnical desing) and EN 1537 appendix : Ground Anchors documents. Eurocode 7 is used for understanding the reason behind the installation of ground anchors and which would be the optimal way to do it, given the ground conditions and construction site conditions. Appendix EN 1537 is used only for ground anchors. Design contains planning of the works, place of installation and ground conditions surrounding the borehole and construction site, defining the materials of all of it's parts, including it's protection system. Installation is a very precise and well planned procedure with relatively very small tolerance for measuring errors. Testing of ground anchors is also a very detailed procedure, whereas it has to prove that the design or the installation are made with enough precision. Practical part of the thesis is written out of a practical test, made by an engineer authorized specifically for ground anchors testing, he's an employee in an anchor testing company named Geotest d.o.o.. The report contains documented test results and diagrams, they show a closely monitored and measured anchors behavior while gradually loading the anchors tendon further with force. The report shows dependable results like ground anchors load-bearing capacity and more. In this thesis, an example of ground anchors protecting a construction pit is given. Out of 5 tested anchors, 4 were usable and one was not.
